i did a COLLAB with POLAROID-- my first gallery show ... I-2 and new BW emulsion

Congrats on the collab! ❤
What's the music at the end there? LIke I guess it was a live recording from the parade, but does that genre have a name or do you know the artist's name? ❤‍🔥

Maybe good to ask Polaroid: why isn't there any stock of monochrome frames or improved B&W films??

Fantastic content ! ❤ J.

Great stuff. Do you have a lomograflok instant back for 4x5? I've been thinking about getting one to shoot part of an exhibition next year. I just feel like instant film will work well for my vision.

I did my 1st exhibition in collaboration with 4 other artists working with calligraphy, video, and abstract installations. It was very intimidating because I'm just a person who takes photos and I'm often very critical of my work. They are all experienced artists with multiple exhibitions under their belts. It did help me learn a lot and to kind of let go a bit and let it develop naturally. I usually don't like anything I shoot until months or years later. This experience forced me to make quick decisions a lot of the time.

Hey man! Loved the video. Really interested to know how you ended up scanning. Any chance you can share a bit about your process or make a video on it? I have an epson but struggle to get good detail or avoid newton rings. Cheers man!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us. Someday I’ll get to see a Ribsy in person!

Sick work and video!!

Those studio motion photos are incredible! Concept to creation 🎉

Congrats on your first show!! The work looks great... love the studio portraits!!

I am thrilled for you, bro! What an experience. I love how you documented both sides of the Lechones, both in studio and on location. Hope you get to do more projects like this in the near future!

Congratulations on your show & your shots were wonderful. I didn't realize your heritage was dominicano I worked there for a while in the outer areas for a while but never got to experience these cultural experiences. Love the video!

Great shots.

congrats !

@Ribsy, congratulations on having your first gallery while being able to highlight Dominican culture. I’ve been following you from the beginning and I would have never thought you would have shot with Polaroid but these are beautiful shots. Keep creating. Hopefully I can make it to NYC for your next gallery to show support. Peace and blessings.

Wonderful images, loved the video.

hell yeah!!! Congrats brother. Love to see it

Also fuck yeah let's get Tumblr back! It's the perfect place for photographers to post work! Fuck IG

Great work Ribs, I'm happy for you and love seeing your style's progression. I used to love your printing videos, especially the RA 4 stuff. It would be cool to see more videos pertaining to that. 🍻

Congrats brother! You are to me a great artist and photographer.. I have learned a lot from you... an artist is that person that makers his medium the expression !!! Just like you do.

SO sick! Congrats on the collab

Great video, wonderful work. Thanks for sharing!

I saw you on walkie talkie I like your work and style I'd like to add some of that to my toolbox.

This is excellent work and really inspiring to highlight how instant photography is an artform that can be utilized in diverse ways. Keep up the great work. Greetings from North Jersey (Jersey City, Bayonne)

I shot a ton of new black and white in August and some are already color shifting.

Nice work. I am not sure why people misspell Paterson. It is one T not two. And we now have google to research spelling.

Ayyyyy, we love to see you going up and up! Mashallah! Congrats on the gallery!

So rad dude!

Nice work. It's good to see Polaroid improving the quality.

I have been here since your very first video, including some of the crazy color printing in the bathroom sessions. I am amazed how you have grown and keep growing as an artist. Congrats! I am so happy you are getting the recognition your body of work deserved. I am especially looking forward to episode 6 of your NY street portraits on 6x6.

Very enjoyable, brilliant work!

Congratulations on the gallery showing! Also, could you make a video on how you made such hires Polaroid scans? I would love to learn.

This was a dope event, congrats bro 💪

this is so cool, you must feel very proud man, congrats on nailing the collab.

So cool 😊

Good job mate. These are some of the best Polaroids that I have seen on the new Polaroid stuff.Sadly unless someone else is paying for the the film the cost of such projects is prohibitive for most photographers, amateur or pro. It is great art nonetheless. I also used to scan some of my more ' surreal ' Polaroids.

congrats bro!

Congratulations its great to get some recognition. Some very interesting photos. 2x👍

Congratulations on your collaboration and your first gallery showing..👊

Congrats on the opportunity and work

Nice art!
